I think it is an interesting idea, too. And ICANN IS hoping the NARALO will show the way in coming up with something creative to better include individuals who want to be included.
Really? What specifically offers the impression that ICANN is looking to its slowest-acting RALO -- which doesn't even have a MOU in place -- for leadership? What I've read, from mail on this list as well as privately sent, indicates the exact opposite -- that we're just a notch above being seen as an embarassment. The best "leadership" we can offer is getting the fundamentals down (ie, at least get to the same levels of maturity of other RALOs) before we start to get creative. Despite all the noise, I haven't seen much to instill any confidence that we can even work _within_ the box, let alone push the boundaries. Let's demonstrate that we're capable of walking before boasting that we can win the sprint. - Evan
